Sababa Pita Bar

Postby Sinister Tiddlywinks » 15 Sep 2006, 18:37

Sababa Pita Bar will be opening next Monday September 18.
I hope they do good business because I love pitas and falafels and hummus and all that yummy stuff.

The cook is the guitarist for Neon. Ya!

It's along Alley 118 - a little alley that connects Heping E. Rd and Xin-Hai Rd.
The entrance to the alley is catty-cornered to Technology Building station, on the corner of Heping E. Rd. and Fuxing S. Rd.

Walk down Alley 118 until you get to lane 54. It's a little place.

台北市和平東路二段118巷54弄8號1樓

1F, No.8, Alley 54, Lane 118,
Sec.2, Heping E. Rd., Taipei.



The address is deceptive, because this little pita bar is actually in a lane off of an alley which is closer to Xin-Hai Rd. than it is to Heping.

Cool! That's right in my neighborhood!

I believe the ownership of Citizen Cain is involved with this.
Should be good food. :)

They're hoping to open this Wednesday (20 September).

Went here tonight for the opening and the food is fabulous! Better than I dared hope.

The Humus Ful is excellent and the Chicken Souvlaki is outstanding. The Humus is a bit spicey and it comes with pita bread and beans. Did I say that the Chicken Souvlaki is delicious? It is. The Falafel is good, too... but I liked the Chicken Souvlaki better.

Very tastefully done decor, also. Very cozy and comfortable.

The owner/manager is a really nice guy and was friendly and helpful with suggestions.

Can't wait to get hungry and go back again.

Tonight, they were excellent...FREE :)
I just got back and as T-man says, all the food was great.
Fresh veggies, good meat, and spicy yet tangy sauces.
Prices are el cheapo ranging from 58 to 138nt IIRC. Most food items were 88 or 138nt.
It's targeting students and the takeout crowd, although the interior is much bigger than I expected. Could fit at least 20 seated in there. It was packed with people standing tonight. All foreigners, many of them Citizen Cain regulars I suspect. In any event, it's well worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

Yes, the prices are very reasonable... each of the three pita sandwiches (Falafel, Sabich and Chicken Souvlaki) are only NT$ 88...

The platters (Hummus Ful, Eggplant Salat, Iranian Chicken and Plata Sababa) are each NT$ 138

Check this place out.

Josefus, sorry I missed you!

They also have sangria. YUM! If I remember correctly, the sangria price is the same as the falafel: 88 NT. Lots of cinnamon.

I had their Iranian chicken plate and a falafel pita to go. They were both delicious!

Didn't see you guys there, Tigerman and Josefussball. I left early to go swing dancing at Escape.

And I mention that because I was talking to the owner of Sababa and he said that they are considering opening up another Sababa at Escape, which is about the same size - the first floor of Escape is the same size as Sababa, that is. Dancing is in the basement. And that would be very very cool, because Escape needs sangria and hummus!
